So I saw this awesome thing where they grow a vft from seed in a tiny bottle. I read something if anyone has done this, or grew them in water for a while? I figured I'd have to sterilize the bottle, of course use distilled water. Keep humidity. It shouldn't need any nutrients right? Thanks for the help. I think these would better killer nature lesson for the classroom and friends

Actually they will grow in just water under strong enough light conditions (I don't know from seed tho) ,but it really slows there growth down. I think the bottle your talking about is a certain kind of gel inside maybe not Idk.

What sort of gel could be in there you think? I wonder if I could make it.
